Emotional Intelligence

From Self-Awareness to Success: The Power of Emotional Intelligence

Introduction

Emotional intelligence (EI) has become well-known throughout the business world as a crucial component of leadership effectiveness. Intellect and business expertise can only carry you so far if emotional intelligence is lacking. The EI model focuses specifically on the behavioral level, on performance at work, and on organizational leadership.

EI involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action. People who rise to the top of their field – whether it’s psychology, law, medicine, engineering, or banking – aren’t just good at their jobs. Numerous studies on professional leaders show that people with high EI are affable, resilient, and optimistic
